Let 2 Go Before You...Pay It Forward's Cousin

As I have returned to my home and looked back on so many waves of emotions that I have experienced in the past month or so, I am very content with the direction that I am going in. I wanted to let you all know about something that I have been doing for the past month or more in my every day life. We have all heard of paying it forward in one sense or another, well this is on that same level. During my Kundalini journey, I had the pleasure of being around many high vibrational people. They did and said things that gave me some great moments of clarity. This happened so much that it caused me to actually do some things differently during and after the classes were done. I took this and started something on my own.

If you remember back in my posts during the challenge, one day a yogi gave me a cup of tea before herself and I wrote about it. This was a very small gesture, yet it left a very large impression on me in so many ways. I began to think even more than normal about giving just to give and how it affects all of us. So from that moment, I would give at least two people tea before I drank a cup myself. There was something about it that just felt right and so soul balanced. I did this every day from that point after class. I did it because I loved the rush that came from it. So I continued on and now I am doing it in other parts of my life. So The name of this blog explains it as succinctly as possible and it is powerful.

I was at a buffet this past weekend and I remember giving out two plates to the couple behind me as well as two people the following day at breakfast, and so on. This was somehow building a thread that just got stronger and stronger as the days went by. I also let two people go before me when I was on the plane as I waited in line. In actuality, I was not going to write about this for fear of being seen as patting myself on the back for doing good deeds. Then I thought to myself, what if this can start a wave of consciousness with my readers and could change the mood or direction in just one person's life just by them doing what I did? This is completely not about me, its about others for sure.

This past weekend I was with my mother. She has continually taught me so much about dealing with people and what to do in certain situations almost unconsciously and it is still going on today. We were driving in her car and she told me a story about how she has a friend who had just lost her job and did not really have money to pay for tutoring for her son. She went on to say that she contacted her friend who is a phenomenal teacher and gave the money to her up front to tutor this woman's son for one month straight twice a week I believe. Now when I heard this, I felt an incredible rush of respect and elation from this gesture. She did this awesome good deed and she even made sure that it was kept anonymous by telling her friend to tell the woman that it was money from a scholarship that she used for her son and that there was no charge. She slipped into incognito land and just let it be.

The above example is why I am who I am today in so many ways. I have seen examples of that for many years and it still has not ceased one bit. Imagine my feeling when she told me that story? I just could not wait to do something similar as soon as possible. I have read many times that the anonymous giving is some of the highest vibrational giving that you can possibly give and I think I have learned why many times over. It is so much fun and it leaves an impression as long as a jumbo kite in the summer time. I almost felt like the fact that I heard that story meant that I was doing exactly what I was meant to be doing and it was clearly being confirmed. That was an incredible moment. What a magnificent beacon of giving, caring, and loving my mother is...

So give it a try and see what happens for you? Just pull back a little bit this week and let other go before you when you drive ,or go to a buffet , or even just get into line at the grocery store. The rushing and the pushing and the erratic behavior that we all partake in many times seems to get us to our destination quicker, yet in the end, we remain so far behind in real time. Selflessness is a major theme for me right now. At the same time, I am clearer about what I will not allow in my space at the same time. What an interesting set of differences. I do know one thing for sure. Those who have been the most successful in life are usually the ones that have failed the most, yet gotten back up and helped the most people shortly afterwards. So where does that leave you right now? Sit with that for a moment. I don't really believe in failure anyway. I believe in feedback, lessons, and times up to bat. So give it away, give it away, give it away now!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting artist Kerry Ray of Crystal and Leaf at a San Diego healing event and was so impressed with her creations that I was inspired to write about her work. Her booth was filled with sparkling fairy houses and doors (like door in the palm above); radiant jewelry and many other gifts which she says are portals or gateways to the promotion of abundant living. I could not wait to talk to her as I was immediately intrigued by the unique creations; the beauty of her intentions which I immediately felt through her unique "fairy world."
Speaking with Kerry, I learned how much she valued her creative life and being open to her "own uniqueness" and she puts it -- as well as bringing forth authentic expression through all that she does. Not only does she create beautiful fairy houses and jewelry, she also models in the nude for art students; she is a laughter coach/energy guide; she is a wife and the mother to a five year old daughter who is …

Sometimes in life you just wish people would do better. However, the version of better that you wish they would do is inevitably your version of better. This will usually not work because you are not them. So I say to myself, " Isn't it just obvious that such and such is not being carried out properly?" I once again have to admit that the statement is also not exactly true. This is a lead in to my story.

Once again on the train I observed an action that gave me pause. I was sitting on a relatively empty train. I watched people as I always do. The information that is available on one train ride is just so plentiful that it rocks my soul. There was a man sitting to my immediate right across from me. The doors opened at the next stop and he released a bottle around the door from a seated position that landed under the train and smashed into bits and pieces. He literally let it fall in between the area between the platform and the train.

We have all made it through another year. The ups and downs, and the smiles and frowns. We made it through all of these things. Our programming tells us that there is another year ahead of us. The triggers all around us let us know that all of the past years crap is behind us as well. Isn’t it fascinating that most people cannot move until these triggers take affect? Almost no one is immune from this deeply rooted mentally powerful programming.

When the ball drops, there is an overwhelming amount of joy and release. It is felt collectively and it reaches out across the world into all of its time zones. I am so amazed by its power. So if someone had decided that snatch was the first month of the year, then we wound be celebrating then. Of course we all know that March is not the start of the year. It’s just interesting to imagine that it was for a moment or so. I see the change in people and I also see how short lived it is. This is what gets my gears going.
